"The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool... The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek" (Psalm 110:1,4). "While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? They say unto Him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call Him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool? If David then call Him Lord, how is He his son? And no man was able to answer Him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask Him any more questions" (Matthew 22:41-46).
We
hear the Father's conversation
With
Christ who comes to take His seat,
Exalted
to the highest station
With
all His foes beneath His feet.
Though
Christ would come from David's line,
From
everlasting, He was God.
He
never ceased to be Divine;
His
holiness was never flawed.
Yes,
David rightly understood
That
Christ was very God indeed,
Yet
as our great High Priest He would
Come
forth as David's royal Seed.
When
Jesus asked for a conclusion
Regarding
Christ: "Whose Son is He?"
He
thus exposed the great confusion
Of
every wicked Pharisee.
For
David worshiped Christ the Lord,
Affirming
that no name was greater.
He
saw what Pharisees ignored:
Christ
was his Son, yet His Creator!
He
saw the day when enemies
Opposing
Christ would come to naught.
No
wonder then those Pharisees
Were
rendered speechless at this thought!
O
Lord, we thank You for Your favor
To
sinners who deserved Your wrath!
You
came to earth to be our Savior
And
turn us from destruction's path.
As
David, Lord, we have discerned
Your
Word foretold so long ago,
That
Your salvation would be spurned
By
those who chose to be Your foe.
Discernment,
Lord, which David found,
Is
still imparted by Your Spirit.
So
may Your truth that saves abound
To
those who yet will humbly hear it.
